HOME FREE MAKES GRAND OLE OPRY DEBUT (7/17) AND IS WELCOMED WITH A STANDING OVATION

Nashville, TN (July 20, 2015) – Columbia Records’ a cappella Country quintet, Home Free, made their debut at the renowned Grand Ole Opry on Friday night (7/17) and were warmly welcomed with a standing ovation. The Season 4 winners of NBC’s “The Sing-Off” performed their unique spins on Tom Cochrane’s “Life Is A Highway” and Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire.” Immediately following their set, Opry Vice President and General Manager, Pete Fisher invited them back for another performance. Country icon Vince Gill, also on the evening’s bill, watched their performance from the back of the stage and congratulated the group after the set.

“We were overwhelmed by the crowd's response during our debut at the Grand Ole Opry. We were just honored to be among Country royalty in Vince and Larry on Friday,” said Home Free's Tim Foust. “We never imagined we would receive multiple standing ovations and get invited back on the spot!”

Comprised of five vocalists from Minnesota - Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist, Chris Rupp, Tim Foust and Adam Rupp – Home Free is releasing their third studio album this fall on Columbia Records. It features their first original song, “Summer In The Country,” additional new tracks, a few surprise collaborations and their trademark a cappella versions of today’s hit songs.

Home Free will hit the road full throttle this fall with the launch of the 2015 DON’T IT FEEL GOOD Tour. Kicking off September 14th in Fredericton, Canada, the tour will cover 47-plus cities bringing their high-energy performances and quick-witted humor across North America.

To date Home Free has made their mark on the music scene with selling more than 150,000 copies combined of their popular albums, CRAZY LIFE and FULL OF CHEER, embarking on two major national tours and amassing nearly 40 million YouTube views.

Founded by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp during their college years in the early 2000s, Home Free had been perfecting their live show for years prior to NBC’s "The Sing-Off" - performing together for packed crowds at major fairs, colleges and theaters. It was their experience on the road that carried them to a Sing-Off victory, building their fan base and bringing their homegrown country style into the national spotlight. For the five talented singers from Minnesota their win was a satisfying culmination of nearly a decade of hard work and commitment to their vocal craft.
